I see on another Forum, That Hasbro is putting out Exclusive toys, at the FanExpo, At SDCC, Everyday was a Mad Rush to get in Line to get any of these. It was Insane to get any of these Exclusives. My question, Are Canadians as Crazy as Americans? Is there as much Excitement as there is here?

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Man it was Really, really busy this year. I was there on Saturday, and it was quite crowded. Didn't get to see too much, but had fun anyway. Anyone get any pictures?

Nice Pics!! Couldn't believe how crowded it got! I got stuck on the second floor waiting to get upstairs to the Exhibit Hall. They stopped letting people onto the Exhibit hall to keep the crowd down. found it to be a little disorganized, but not too bad of a convention! Was nice to see people dressed up. In talking to some of the regulars who attend each year, they said it's getting bigger and more crowded each year, can see this convention eventually being the East coast equivalence to the SDCC.

Saturday was pretty busy.. was stuck outside waiting to re-enter. They were over capacity so they were not letting people in freely. They even extended the close time by an hour to compensate. Definitely getting bigger and bigger every year.

I found it a bit disorganized.. couldn't figure out which lineup was what. Still, pretty good weekend. Was a bit surprised how easily I got Stan Lee's autograph though.. was expecting to line up a hour at least.

Yeah, Saturday was crazy-busy! We got there at 1030 and It took us a little over an hour to get in.
Next year, I'm going to go 2 days. One day with the kids, and one day on my own. My kids were exhausted after about an hour of fighting the crowds.

Even though it was crowded, still wasn't even close to how crowded the SDCC has been getting!

This year was way better then previous years from the standpoint of a fan.

Very unorganized for dealers.

The floor had way more things then previous years such as Hasboro making a big splash with exclusives and displays of Star Wars.

Zenescope had some hot chicks dreesed up...sorry no pics.

Tony sorry I could not hang for very long. As always it was great to see you and Elaine. Thank you once again for the Batman Sketch. Next year will just be myself as my Son found it too hard to be patient.

Always a pleasure seeing you at Fan Expo. I can understand your son being impatient. You guys got out just before the madness ensued.
